Hey,
Rebuilt my 30hp 1200 for my oval and put it in the car, having adjusted her and given her a few runs.
I have two problems. Firstly, i replaced the gasket under the dynamo at the top of the oil fill/dynamo stand. However, it is leaking oil very badly, made another thicker gasket and its now worse! Even if it had the correct gasket, is ther supposed to be oil coming out of there? Filled the oil up to the correct level according to the dipstick. Unfortunatley its gone all over the clean case/inlet manifold and tinware :o(
Second problem when accelerating i have a serious lag-time on acceleration and she actually cuts out sometimes when i approach junctions and apply the clutch. She starts first time and idles perfectly. It seems clear to me that she is running lean as when the choke is out she runs beautifully, its just as soon as i disengage the choke that the problem starts. I have bought some gungum, which i intend to apply around the inlet manifold and exhaust.
I removed the new plugs yesterday ,they're a little black from overcompensating the mixture with the choke, checked the gap it was 0.5mm.
Am i on track to solving it do you think? would be greatful for any feedback or help, thanks in advance,
Cheers
